The secret is that there is no secret tool. Venture investing is hard research and diligence, utilizing years of experience as an engineer and at venture firms seeing thousands of companies. Anyone can write a check to a startup company, but the hard part is determining which company to fund and then helping the entrepreneur grow the business.
